Risks of Gallstones formation

[Guest guest]

Here's a very interesting article about gallstones formation. In the

article, the author talks about how gallstones form during weight

loss. In women, the faster the weight loss, the more likely

gallstones will form. The purpose of the study appears to test a

medication as a way of preventing gallstone formation.

It also says that gallstones are found in approx 12% of Americans,

and 18% of American women.
